[filmscanners] Re: Onboard Graphics and Filmscanning
I use an onboard video card (8MB?) in an 800MHz Pentium 3, 512MB RAM PC. I can't compare speeds to a 32MB video card but the speed of my editing is fine. Maybe I don't appreciate the speed of a 32MB video card but I can't imagine a huge difference when I manipulating 27MB (8 bit) or 55MB (16 bit) images. Changes in PS7 are very quick, a fraction of a second usually. Scanning is a different story but that has nothing to do with the video card.

For a similar price I can build at fast 1700 Athlon, 512 meg RAM with a separate 32 Meg video card PC or he can purchase a similar spec machine ready built with onboard video that shares the system RAM. The cost of machines ready built with a separate card is considerably dearer. Has any one edited say 30 Meg scans with a machine with onboard video,. My thoughts are it will be noticeably slower than a machine with a separate 32 meg video card. If not, it saves me building him a machine. Comments please.

Don I also have onboard video, Intel mobo, PIII/800, 512MB RAM. I run 19 monitor at 1024x768 in 24bit (TrueColor) mode. No probs, plenty fast for PhotoShop. If you do 3D, especially gaming, this would NOT be adequate however..
